The ' Black Proposal ' was a short, ten-page proposal for the creation of a supercomputing center which eventually led to funding from the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) to create supercomputing centers, including the National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) at the University of Illinois.

Support for MPI meetings came in part from ARPA and US National Science Foundation under grant ASC-9310330, NSF Science and Technology Center Cooperative agreement number CCR-8809615, and the Commission of the European Community through Esprit Project P6643.

The US Navy operates Naval Support Facility ( NSF ) Diego Garcia, a large naval ship and submarine support base, military air base, communications and space-tracking facility, and an anchorage for pre-positioned military supplies for regional operations aboard Military Sealift Command ships in the lagoon.

The National Science Foundation ( NSF ) has ranked Johns Hopkins # 1 among U. S. academic institutions in total science, medical and engineering research and development spending for 31 consecutive years.

However, the NSF had no organization in place to support it, and the proposal itself did not contain a clearly defined home for its implementation.

In the US, the NSF International ( an independent not-for-profit organization ) sets the standards for wash and rinse time along with minimum water temperature for chemical or hot water sanitizing methods.

The twelve member presidential Committee on the National Medal of Science is responsible for selecting award recipients and is administered by the National Science Foundation ( NSF ).

For example, reviewers cannot work at the NSF itself, nor for the institution that employs the proposing researchers.

In June 2010, the National Science Board ( NSB ), the governing body for NSF and science advisers to both the legislative and executive branches, convened its Task Force on Merit Review to determine " how well the current Merit Review criteria used by the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) to evaluate all proposals were serving the agency.

But both criteria already had been mandated for all NSF merit review procedures in the 2010 reauthorization of the America COMPETES Act.

Examples of national facilities include the NSF ’ s national observatories, with their giant optical and radio telescopes ; its Antarctic research sites ; its high-end computer facilities and ultra-high-speed network connections ; the ships and submersibles used for ocean research ; and its gravitational wave observatories.

The NSF was certainly not the primary government agency for the funding of basic science, as its supporters had originally envisioned in the aftermath of World War II.

Along the way, moreover, the NSF's astronomy program has forged a close working relationship with that of NASA, which was also founded in 1958: just as NASA has responsibility for the U. S. effort in space-based astronomy, the NSF provides virtually all the U. S. federal support for ground-based astronomy.

Shortly thereafter, a presidential directive based on the treaty gives the NSF the responsibility for virtually all U. S. operations and research on the continent ; the U. S. Antarctic Program continues to this day.

By the mid-1980s, primary financial support for the growing project is assumed by the NSF.

During that debate, NSF is both lauded and criticized for favoring the standards.
